White constable Michael Theriault, who was off duty at the time, and his brother Christian chased Dafonte Miller, then 19, in the early hours of the morning on December 28, 2016, cornering him between two homes in Whitby, Ontario, Toronto. Prosecutors said the pair then beat Miller with a meter-long pipe that caused his left eye to burst. The brothers claimed they had acted in self-defense, claiming Miller had a weapon....
A 25-second clip of the incident, which was circulating on social media on Saturday and Sunday, shows one woman on the roof and another two perched on the hood while a small crowd looked on. The slow-moving SUV is marked “Chicago Police” and one person in the crowd appears to be wearing Bulls gear, the night-time footage shows. It is unclear exactly when or where the video was recorded....
According to a report from AL.com’s Michael Casagrande, a police officer walked into LSU’s locker room around 1 a.m. ET following the game and told players they were not allowed to smoke celebratory cigars. Not only that, the officer reportedly threatened arrest to anyone smoking the cigars. Said players reportedly had been smoking for roughly 15 minutes, causing smoke to spill into the hallway before reporters were allowed access to the locker room....
Woodward’s campaign website has a section of questions asked by people, followed by his answer. One of them questioned if he actually had a BLM sign in his yard. “I did, indeed, have a sign in my yard briefly last summer which expressed compassion at a difficult time for all of us,” Woodward wrote. “If you are asking whether my response indicates a support of any political platform you may associate it with, the answer is categorically no and any suggestion otherwise is misinformed and irresponsible....
But that’s not nearly as strange as seeing the 2008 presidential candidates try to imitate my father and proclaim themselves more Reaganesque than their competitors. Where is Lloyd Bentsen when you need him? “I knew Ronald Reagan… Senator [or Governor], you’re no Ronald Reagan.” On Friday’s “Today Show”, Mitt Romney again brandished my father’s name, and claimed that, just as Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, Romney can effectively govern and manage foreign policy in this horribly troubled world....
Both sides insisted they wanted to meet the other and blamed scheduling difficulties. But the cool response from the Kerry campaign is an unusual twist in what should be an easy relationship. Both leaders are liberals at home and internationalists abroad. Both were lawyers in their early careers and both play the guitar in their downtime. Both have even shared an adviser in Bob Shrum, Kerry’s media guru who helped Blair’s team during its 2001 re-election....
Some people will not return the forms. In 1990, only 65 percent of households did, down from 75 percent in 1980. The falloff is usually laid to many factors: a weariness with all surveys; distrust or fear of government; a scarcity of time; less civic virtue, and confusion of the census forms with junk mail. Hundreds of thousands of door-to-door canvassers will then try to fill in the gaps. They, too, will fail, because some people won’t open their doors, some people don’t want to be found, some people give bad information and some canvassers make mistakes....
Speaking to the New York Post in new interview comments, published Saturday, Schoen cited results of a survey conducted in the days following last month’s general election that reinforced this idea. His consulting firm, Schoen Cooperman Research, distributed the questionnaire. The survey, which collected responses from 1,000 people across the U.S. between November 8 and 9, reflected participants’ hesitance to align themselves with several Democratic platforms that dominated national conversations leading up to Election Day....
“Getting the vaccines that are authorized by the respective authorities is an act of love,” Pope Francis says in the first Ad Council PSA to be distributed beyond the United States. “And helping the majority of people to do so is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for our families and friends.” But the story of how the Pope came to be part of a PSA that features Latin American and Caribbean archbishops and cardinals in an effort to reduce vaccine hesitancy among U....
Francis was participating in a Wednesday radio interview when he was asked about Afghanistan’s political future in light of the U.S. military withdrawal. The pope said that he would respond with a quote from Merkel, “one of the world’s greatest political figures.” “It is necessary to put an end to the irresponsible policy of intervening from outside and building democracy in other countries, ignoring the traditions of the peoples,” the pope said, translating the quote into Spanish....
During an interview on The Howard Stern Show in December, Eilish revealed how she started watched porn at the age of eleven, but now thinks the industry is “a disgrace.” Ward, who was previously an actress on Boy Meets World, claims Eilish’s comments are “very detrimental” to the porn industry. Ward gave her thoughts to TMZ, and initially questioned why Eilish was watching porn in elementary school. She asked: “Who was watching over her?...
About 700 containers have been sitting on the Savannah River banks for over a month, not having been picked up by their owners. Griff Lynch, the executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority, told the Times that ships are being forced to wait at sea for nine days before entering the port. Recently, more than 20 ships were waiting to enter, and were anchored in the Atlantic up to 17 miles off the coast....
(Our MLS Power Rankings are voted on by Goal’s editors and writers. Comments written by Rudi Schuller). 1. TORONTO FC LAST WEEK: 1 CHANGE: — Every good run comes to an end, and TFC’s seemingly unstoppable unbeaten streak was halted with a thud over the weekend. For as good as Toronto has been this season, the way in which the Canadian team fell to New England leaves the table-topping side lucky to still be at the top of our list....
But the night was about to become even more hectic. Just before midnight, Kellerman burst into the trauma room. Two more car-accident victims were on their way, he announced. He quickly scanned the four trauma bays, all of which were taken. Who could he move to make way? He selected the only patient not on a ventilator, even though her condition—six broken ribs and a lacerated liver—was precarious. “I would not have chosen to take her out of the room,” said Kellerman afterward, “but I had other people coming in who were even more critical....
On top of caring for a newborn while operating on little to no sleep, many women are left with one or several musculoskeletal conditions as a result of the pregnancy and birthing process. Fortunately, however, there may be an effective solution. Many postpartum diagnoses can be successfully managed or treated with the help of a physical therapist. This article discusses postpartum conditions, physical therapy options, and treatment options. Postpartum Conditions Over the course of a pregnancy, a woman’s body is subjected to many different stresses....
That harrowing day two weeks ago is the last time Colin Powell was out of touch with George W. Bush. The gulf-war hero who on Sept. 10 seemed the loneliest moderate in Bush’s right-leaning White House, the sole internationalist in a crowd of America-firsters, is at center stage of the country’s new war. He’s likely to remain there. Cool under fire, the quintessential crisis manager, Powell finds himself the go-to guy, joined by critical players who once seemed ideological foes–especially Vice President Dick Cheney, a gulf-war comrade who also knows a thing or two about building multinational coalitions....
